Displaying Acces OLE Object in Frontpage

[D Ryan]

I have an Access database with OLE Objects. Right now my
FrontPage database query results displays [#BINARY#] for
those values.

Is there any way to display a thumbnail or icon for those
values that when clicked on opens the object from inside
the database? The only workaround I have now is to move
the objects out of the database, into a folder on the
web, and then create a URL/pathname link to the object
that is displayed on the page.

Your workaround would be the best way to accomplish your requirement.

What if I ran it on SQL Server instead of Access? It
seems that wouldn't solve my problem - that the
limitation is with FrontPage and not Access.

There is no limitation. It is just much more expensive in terms of
server-side processing and memory usage to fetch images from a database. It
is also a job which requires a good bit more programming skill.
